While it doesn't change current generation, I do feel like that replacing wool with stained clay in desert temples feels a bit more natural, instead of wondering where the ancients found wool in the middle of a desert (unless you are Towns, in which you have Snoats). Yup, which is exactly why I cha...

Welcome back (even though you never really left).

I eagerly look forward to what the next few weeks will reveal.

Looks to be this bug, which was active in 1.5.2 https://mojang.atlassian.net/browse/MC-881

I've also been really enjoying watching your videos too, even though my knowledge of French is very small.

netherquartz and lapis gaining usage in enchanting and more crafting looks like incentivised mining to me. I'm a little dissapointed that the granite and dolorite were treated as ores instead of layers of rock. They feel like the next gravel deposit now. Honestly, I'd prefer it the way it is over t...

Shameless Self Promotion. I love your videos man, you and Huntanor have some of the longest running and most enjoyable BTW videos that get regularly updated. Link to Huntanor's videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/Huntanor/videos Also, on a more international note, there's been a recent new French B...

Huh, I knew about rain hydration (another vanilla thing they seem to have never come back to), but I always assumed unhydrated plants would pop off and turn to dirt, like unhydrated soil does with nothing planted on it. Back on to topic (for the first time in the thread): This isn't one of my "...

You don't need 100% coverage with vines. I usually start with 1 trap per 2-4 blocks (I keep it simple with 1 wide beams with 2 gap on either side). You just need enough for them to think there's a way to walk. I have not tested output vs 100% coverage... but when you're first starting out, vine tra...

Perhaps i'm just a risk-averse gamer. Icy's last let's play where he entered the nether and found a fortress had me pulling my hair out on several occasions. Haha, yes. -icy: "Now I got to be carful of wither skeletons here.." -me yelling at screen: "You are not in any way being care...

Yeah, the other key thing which makes ghast-jump-starting portals, is the fixed aim they have now. Damn things can pretty much thread a needle with those fireballs.

Any 1 block wide bridges of mine are now at least 5 blocks above the surface of the water. Still don't know if they can grab you from that height since I never dare use them at night, and I have no intention to find out (at least not from first hand experience anyways). As was said earlier, having ...

I think I had forgotten about that in a manner that was a tad too convenient. What I should probably be doing is shaking the hunger bar or whatever when you engage in a high energy activity like swinging a weapon or jumping. The increased resolution helps a lot, but in situations where you are focu...

As has been stated a hoe would be a way to try and get some sort of steady food going, but if you learn to be careful with your hunger nearby animals should be enough keep you going through a pick. The hoe could also help you get an early start on hemp growing, but that really can't be ground until ...

So I stumbled upon another which somehow slipped me by the other week. Note that the video recording setup is kind of odd (with him just recording his whole desktop), the audio picks up a lot of computer noise and no game audio, and his computer is pretty slow and sluggish. However the player himsel...

I didn't think it would possible to accidentally reach starvation before the end of the first day. Hilarious and cringe worthy at the same time. I love watching people helplessly pap away at animals with their fist when hungry, and the animal just stares back at them while they try to work out what...

When you say 'were' how long ago are we talking? There was a bug a while back which caused some cycling of spawn locations, but I'm pretty sure that has been squashed since then.

I thought I'd make a general purpose thread for people to share new BTW LP videos they find and like. I've been trawling youtube a lot recently keeping my eye out for them, as I am just so addicted to seeing how new people react to the design elements in BTW. Anyway, this one just popped up and has ...

I think i have heard FC (or someone) say, when you are wearing over 10 ingots you're unable to swim -Added Hardcore Armor to the mod. This extends some of the concepts previously just applied to Soulforged Steel armor to other armors in the game. Basically, the way it works is that every ingot (iro...

And just a note: We do have a way to 'speed up tree growth', with the wonderful abomination that is bloodwood. Delicious gooey screaming bloodwood.

Yeah, one aspect people have trouble grasping for this is just how large the HC spawn range is. As an example, the official server has been running for.. a little over a year now, and I still get HC spawns on it with animals around. This query on Wolfram Alpha should give you a bit more of an idea o...

Seeing that picture I kind of expected to see a witch balanced against it on the other side.

Actually, what animals have people seen squids thwap? I'm still not entirely sure exactly which mobs they go after.

The texture pack biases me somewhat, but that looks really nice and really really cozy. Well done.

That actually makes me think, what do 'squid safe' bridges look like? I've been pulled off some pretty tall stuff, but would a rim that cuts line of sight into the water make it safe enough?

Actually, has this been around long enough to make a thread about that and not worry about it as a spoiler?

Ah, I'd forgotten jungle temples also come with levers and redstone along with the pistons. Nice way to get and early game piston door to protect you at night.

Ah sorry, I only tied it to the lag because at the top I've got a single soulsand hopper that feeds xp into the spiral which has no issues at all. I only personally saw it happening in the large system when it was turned on and the inevitable lag came, in case that was important in determining why i...

This came up in another thread and I was wondering if anyone else has seen issues with this? I personally was only seeing it when turning on my whole xp storage spiral, causing massive client lag and noticeable server lag (from what other people on the server were saying). Rather than the xp just dr...
